The temperature at sunrise is 65F. Each hour during the day, the temperature rises 5F. Write an equation that models the temperature y, in degrees Fahrenheit, after x hours during the day.
I need help writing the equation, I don't want the answer to the equation but I want help writing the equation, so I can solve it. an someone help?
now: temp = 65
after 1 hour temp = 65 + 5(1)
after 2 hours temp = 65 + 5(2)
after 3 hours temp = 65 + 5(3)
...
after x hours temp = 65 + 5x

Wrong.
Of course, I'd be happy to help!
To write an equation that models the temperature after x hours during the day, we can start with the initial temperature at sunrise, which is 65°F. Since the temperature rises 5°F every hour, we can express this as an increase of 5°F per hour.
Using this information, we can write the equation as:
y = 65 + 5x
In this equation, y represents the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit after x hours during the day. The expression "65 + 5x" captures the idea that the temperature starts at 65°F and increases by 5°F for each hour passed.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
Of course! I'd be happy to help you write the equation. Let's break down the information we have and figure out how to represent it in an equation.
We know that the temperature at sunrise is given as 65°F. As each hour passes, the temperature rises by 5°F. This means that for each hour x during the day, the temperature increases by 5 times x.
To represent this information in an equation, we can use the formula:
y = 65 + 5x
In this equation, y represents the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit after x hours during the day. The constant term, 65, represents the initial temperature at sunrise. The term 5x represents the increase in temperature for each hour x.
Now that you have the equation, you can substitute different values for x to find the corresponding temperature y after a specific number of hours during the day.
